Russian Strikes Hit Kyiv Airports Ahead of Trump Envoys' Visit
Russian strikes targeted Kyiv's two airports overnight, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said, calling them a demonstrative response to the planned visit of US envoys. The attacks occurred before the envoys' arrival in Moscow on Saturday. Donald Trump's emissaries Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff landed at Moscow's Vnukovo airport Saturday for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, before traveling to Kyiv on Sunday to meet Zelensky. Zelensky said the strikes aimed to disrupt the visit, which would mark the first air travel by mediators since Ukraine's airspace closed in February 2022. Trump said the envoys carry a peace proposal, without specifying if it involves territorial concessions. A separate Russian attack on Kamianske killed at least five people early Saturday. Moscow has not confirmed the visit or responded to Zelensky's ceasefire offer.
